Writing a Resume
A resume is a tailored marketing document designed to showcase your relevant education, experience, and
skills as they relate to your targeted industry. While writing a resume is a subjective process, this handout
presents guidelines that are applicable to most situations. Talk to a Career Team member about your own
particular situation to help create an even more effective marketing piece for you.
Make your appointment!
Walk in to speak with our Peer Career
Ambassadors No appointment needed!
Your goal in writing this document is to advance to the next stage in the process – the interview. The employer
will only spend about 10-20 seconds examining your resume, so make it count!
Objectives and Profiles
Many people choose to start their resume with an introductory statement – either an Objective or Profile – in
order to position them toward a certain type of opportunity or career direction.
• This statement should be positioned below the contact information.
• Do not use first person and concentrate on the knowledge, skills, and experience you provide the employer.
• Use keywords that appear in the job description or from the targeted industry.
The Objective Statement:
You should only use an objective if you are very clear about the job you seek; otherwise do not include one. State
your objective clearly and specifically in a phrase such as “seeking a drafting position in a supervisory capacity with
a manufacturer of mechanical or electrical products.” It is possible to have two or more resumes with different job
objectives, or you may use the cover letter accompanying your resume to state your career goals.
Example:
•
Desire a position as a financial analyst intern.
The Profile Statement:
Similar to an objective statement, a profile will go into more depth about your knowledge, skills, and experience as
they relate to the job description and industry. These are used to spell out why you qualify for a particular position
or to help redirect your career towards another direction. Transferrable skills and experiences are often described
in a profile statement.
Example:
•
Athlete with strong team leadership skills, ability to multitask, and self-motivation. Excellent customer
service skills with over 3+ years of direct experience.
Section Header Examples
Aside from your introductory statement and the education section, your resume will incorporate additional
sections to help an employer understand what you are marketing. Below are some suggestions to get you
started. Make sure to talk with a Career Team member for more options as they relate to your profile.

STYLES OF RESUMES:
Chronological: List your employment in reverse chronological order. Give position held, employer, and dates of
employment. Describe each position according to job duties: list tasks performed, emphasizing those requiring the
highest level of skill, responsibility and judgement. Begin each phrase with action verbs. Quantify and qualify your
accomplishments, i.e. “Surpassed sales quota by 15%”, trained and supervised 5 employees”, maintained average
caseload of 85”.
Functional: Group your work accomplishments, responsibilities, and duties into 2 to 5 categories according to
functional skill areas such as “Teaching and Training”, “Managerial Skills”, or “Sales”. Choose your skill headings
according to your job objective and briefly describe, using action statements, the work you did in each of the broad
categories you identify.
Combined: Both functional and chronological features appear in a combined resume. Functional skills should be
highlighted at the top. Work experience should be described briefly in reverse chronological order.
Action Verbs
Communication: advised, advocated, authored, consulted, counseled, edited, guided, marketed, published, wrote
Administration: appointed, contracted, delegated, completed, initiated, launched, offered, distributed, recruited
Management: administered, assigned, chaired, coordinated, contracted, managed, organized, planned, organized

ONLINE SUBMISSION OF YOUR RESUME
Most employers prefer a resume to be either uploaded
into their system or emailed directly to them. In the
event you need to print a copy to bring with you to a
career fair or interview it is best practice to print it on
“resume paper” which can be found at any office supply
store. Try to stick with light grey or beige color and use a
high quality printer.
When submitting a resume online, pay attention to these
important recommendations:
• Save your documents into a PDF to ensure the
formatting and spacing stays the way you created it.

• Give your resume a file name that is descriptive and
easy for the employer to know who you are:
• Example: FirstLastName_Resume.
• Do not use “Resume” or “UpdatedResume”
• Include your documents as attachments along with a
targeted cover letter.
Upload your finished resume to our Hire-A-Niner system to make it easier to apply for jobs posted AND to
maintain a digital copy of your resume that can be accessed anywhere – anytime!
